About this board game

Tiny Epic Quest: Deluxe Edition is a 1–4 player sandbox adventure for about 60 minutes, in which bands of three elf heroes strive to save their world from invading goblins.

A vile portal has opened from the goblin kingdom, sending enemies into peaceful groves and villages. To end the threat, players must pursue one of two paths: close the portal or slay every goblin. The deluxe edition also includes the Quest for the Golden Mushrooms expansion.

Each round unfolds across day and night. During the day, heroes travel through the realm to gather quests, learn powerful spells at monuments, seek guidance in mushroom groves, and search dangerous locations for artifacts. These artifacts grant unique abilities, improving movement, combat, spell learning, or the ability to mitigate harmful dice rolls.

  • Visit villages to acquire quests.
  • Explore monuments, mushroom groves, and treacherous locations.
  • Travel by foot, horse, raft, boat, and gryphon.
  • Face nighttime challenges through risky dice rolls.

Movement types are different and limited, so choosing how and where to travel is central to preparing for what comes next. At night, players resolve the challenges created by their quests and decisions, weighing whether to press on for greater progress or stop and save their progress before resting.

The game ends when the portal is closed or all goblins have been eradicated. Victory points come from slaying goblins, learning spells, and completing quests, and the player with the most points wins. In Tiny Epic Quest, timing your risks can matter as much as the adventures you undertake.
